other components installed during the CS 1000E system installation.
Guidelines for component placement in a rack
When installing equipment, the Layer two switches should be in a central
location to allow for easy access of all LAN cabling. The Media Gateways
and Media Gateway Expanders must be mounted together vertically, and they
must be powered from the same power rail. Typical vertical power bars in
equipment racks are rated at 15/20 amps @ 120 volts. Ensure that the
equipment load does not exceed the power bar rating. Refer to
Communication Server 1000E: Planning and Engineering (553-3041-120)
for information on power consumption. Do not place redundant equipment on
the same electrical circuit.
There are no thermal concerns about equipment placement.
